when you go to getfirefox.com, you'll be tracked by google analytics as you're reading about mozilla's "commitment to your privacy".
think one cookie is better than two? maybe, but the context matters here. it took mozilla seven years to stop sending other google cookies along with safebrowsing update requests, including about half a year after the washington post reported that NSA was using this behavior/functionality for targeting: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=368255 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=368255
Mozilla never seems to have anything to say about Google PREF cookies being trivially correlated to google logins from the same IP within a certain timeframe.
more to the point, Firefox still can't be trusted to even tell you which cookies have been dropped in its default configuration through the UI, let alone have a default configuration that limits persistent forms of tracking from its primary sponsor. i find this galling given their marketing push around mozilla's "commitment to your privacy".
